"It's easy to miss the low-key sign for this elegant, modern hotel tucked away amid the frilly houses on Marine Parade; it's worth the trouble, because everything is cool, calm, and sleekly designed." Full review

"In the middle of a grand sweep of wedding cake–style buildings known as the Regency Mile, the discreet sign for Drakes is easy to miss." Full review

"The unbeatable seafront location is the big draw at this chic, minimalist boutique hotel."

"Drakes Hotel Brighton is a four-pearl contemporary boutique townhouse hotel in the heart of Brighton." Full review

"This fabulous boutique hotel spans two late Georgian townhouses and has a great location almost opposite the pier and Brighton Wheel." Full review

"An award-winning restaurant, Poirot-perfect art deco-styled bedrooms, roll-top baths and peerless sea views – what’s not to like about Drakes? This glamorous 20-bedroom establishment, set in a double-fronted Georgian property just minutes from the pier, is easily one of the sexiest boutique hotels offered by the city"

"Stylish, seriously sexy and a firm favourite with Kylie Minogue and Cate Blanchett, Drakes is a gem of a boutique hotel and its basement restaurant serves top-notch modern British cuisine"

"Think oodles of style in porthole windows, curvy cornicing, rolltop tubs set beneath floor to ceiling windows, mid-century furniture and fabulously indulgent beds in all 20 bedrooms. "

"The rooms are decadently furnished, many of them with freestanding bathtubs, and a few at the top of the range are known to be favorites of celebrity guests. Cocktail bar is a suitably swanky venue" Full review

"Eclectic doesn’t quite describe the rooms at this wonderful 23-room town-house hotel, set amid the splendour of Regency Sq." Full review

"Easily one of Brighton’s most stylish hotels, Artist Residence has come a long way since its inception seven years back." Full review

"Artist Residence Brighton hotel is more than its 19th-century façade, with iconic sea views, reclaimed industrial decor (including salvaged bits of the West Pier), and artist-designed interiors." Full review

"If arty, youthful Brighton was a hotel it would be the Artist Residence, an eclectic, bohemian bolthole on one of the city’s most elegant Regency squares"

"I love directing people to the small Artist Residence hotel...where I once had a mini staycation. It overlooks the sea on Regency Square and is full of vintage charm."

"More boho club than boutique hotel, this heavenly 25-bedroom pad mixes dense Farrow & Ball colour notes and retro finds with hip commissioned artwork"

"At the top end of Regency Square and facing the i360 observation tower and skeletal West Pier, Artist Residence is an impressively stylish 25-room boutique hotel"

"On Regency Square, each of its 24 maximalist rooms/apartments are designed by artists with as much flair as you’d expect. It’s worth forking out a little extra for the larger rooms"

"There are 24 rooms, ranging from small and cosy to expansive with sea views, but all guests get to hang out in the Clubhouse, a cafe/lounge space on the seafront. "
